    On the ACXX1553-3U-4 a new generation IRIG-B section is implemented with a free-wheeling IRIG functionality. If no external IRIG signal is detected, the TCP switches automatically to the free- wheeling mode. Also, if an external IRIG-B signal is detected in free-wheeling mode, the Time tag is automatically synchronized to this external IRIG-B signal.

    Furthermore, because the clock lines are built into the backplane, the lines are better shielded than external lines. The ACXX1553-3U-4 card can be set to deliver the PXI 10 MHz System Clock to its internal TIME TAG generation circuitry. The IRIG decoder will then work in Free-Wheeling mode but synchronous to the PXI 10 Mhz clock.
